Gianna POV
I opened the door to Axel's office, and just as I had heard from the maids in the house, he was surrounded by naked girls who were barely dressed.
"busted." His friend laughed at him. "I'm leaving," he said when I threw a death glare his way. The girls who were with Axel followed him out of the door; they didn't care that I was Axel's wife as they smirked at me.
Not this again. I thought I wasn't going to let myself go through this again. My experience with Alpha Nathan was enough, and I don't need another.
"I want a divorce," I said with a strong voice, my hands on my waist as I stared at Axel, who was still sitting at his desk. He had a bored expression on his face and wasn't worried about my impossible request for a divorce; our marriage hadn't been up to a month. Nothing had happened between us; we both slept in separate rooms since I came to the pack. I barely bother to come out of my room. My foolish decision to marry Alpha Axel hits me every day after the day of our wedding. I should have thought more about it; there are other ways to escape alpha Nathan that didn't include handing my life over to alpha Axel.
"If I didn't know better, I would have said that you are jealous." alpha Axel stared directly into my eyes, trying to understand me.
I'm not jealous; after what had happened to me in my past life, I don't want another cheating husband, not again.
"We both know that I'm not going to give you a divorce; besides, you are overreacting." Axel said, "I want an heir from you; I can't get that if we divorced."
"I don't want to carry the baby of a cheating man." I thought back to my past life.
"Dax, you idiot." Axel muttered to himself, "You are misunderstanding things, Gianna; Dax only brought those girls here because he didn't want to believe that I got married."
There was nothing he wanted to tell me that I didn't see for myself. I saw the way he smiled at them while their hands were all over him. I wouldn't have known what was going on if the maid hadn't purposely gossiped loudly at the door to my room, almost as though they were telling me that they know the truth about who I was, a sad, pathetic woman who wasn't alpha Axel's real mate. Their words dared me that I couldn't do anything to stop him if he wanted to cheat on me. Our marriage wasn't a love marriage, but I'm not letting this handsome bastard cheat on me.
"I don't care about your explanations; just give me a divorce." If what he wants is to sleep around like a man whore, he's free to do it after divorcing me, not while I'm legally still his wife.
Axel stood to his feet and walked towards me; his scent engulfed me as his face was inches away from mine. For a dirty cheater, he smelled good, so good that I felt like grabbing him by his collar just so that I could breathe in his scent deeply.
"If you know that you don't want any trouble from me, you are going to fulfill your duty as my wife and Luna and give me an heir." His voice was soft, but his threats brought chills to my spine; it wasn't an empty threat, alpha Axel was a dangerous man; everything about him didn't hide it. "I'm sure you must know by now that most of my pack members don't like you, and you have already been rejected by your parents and your pack. If you divorce me, where will you go, Gianna?" He asked in a mocking tone; his words pierced my heart. It hurts because it was true.
"You want an heir because of my bloodline, don't you?" a shocked expression came to his face as he asked, "How did you _?"
"It's not hard to figure out why a man like you will marry a woman like me. Everyone who knew my family knows about our bloodline and how rare it is." I lied; I messed up by mentioning what I knew from my past life.
Marrying alpha Axel isn't so bad; he wants to use me, and I could also use him; gaining full authority as his wife could give me enough power and influence to gain my parents love and expose Quinn. I could also get revenge on Alpha Nathan and Quinn for what they did to me in the past.
"Okay, let's do this." I said to Axel. He stared at me with fascinated eyes that made me wonder what he was thinking. "You give me the full authority that comes from being your wife, and I give you the heir you want so much, but after birth, we divorce and go our separate ways."
I was a terrible mother in my past life, a foolish mother who couldn't protect her child. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't afraid of getting pregnant again. I didn't want to think about it, but I can't forget how my first baby died in my womb. I never got the chance to hold that child in my arms. I'm not confident with taking care of a child, so I will leave the baby with Alpha Axel.
"Sounds like you are trying to form a marriage contract with me," he said in a tone that wasn't displeased.
"Of course I want you to be a faithful husband while we are married."
Alpha Axel wraps his hands around my waist. "That's easy; you are the only woman I currently want on my bed." He leaned his face towards me.
"What are you doing?" I asked in a panicked tone as I tried to escape his grip.
"I'm starting our deal by getting the heir I want," Alpha Axel kissed me.
Our contract hasn't been drafted yet, but he didn't care.
Gianna POV“What do you have against Carl?” I asked, swimming towards Riley. She was sitting down at the edge of the pool, moving her legs slowly in the water.Riley was taken aback by my question; her sunglasses nearly fell off her hair, but she quickly adjusted it. “I don't have anything against beta Carl.” She lied nervously.Riley didn't know that I had noticed her sudden changes of mood, along with how she gets weirdly nervous when Carl is around. There is something about him she wasn't telling me; I'm sure of it.I don't know much about Carl, but seeing the way he handled Vera, without Axel and me knowing, must mean that he's not a bad guy.“Since you two are on good terms, I'm sure you won't mind if I call him over to come and hang out with us.” I watched Riley's expression, testing her. I expected her to stop me, but she didn't.“You called for me, Luna.” Carl bowed his head.I put on my robe and turned to look at Riley; she kept her eyes down at the water, her feet had stoppe
Gianna POVI stared at the phone on my desk for the 10th time today, but there was still no call from Axel. Normally at this time he would try to piss me off by giving me more tasks than I could handle, but Axel had been calmed lately; he's not trying to make me quit my job anymore.“I know, it's so vexing, isn't it?” Aurora asked and continued to rant on what I didn't care about.For a second, I almost forgot that Aurora was in my office. Now that Axel wasn't troubling me anymore, I had so much free time that I didn't know what to do with it. In the meantime, Aurora was exploiting my time and thought that the angry expression on my face was a reaction to whatever gibberish she was saying.Riley warned me about getting into a conversation with Aurora; although she was a nice person, she talks too much. Once she starts moving her mouth, no one knows when she is going to stop. And unfortunately for me, I wasn't the only one with too much time on my hands; Aurora too, that's why she was
Gianna POVI was overly self-conscious of Axel's hand that held my waist; he sometimes drew little patterns on my back. We were at the party held in celebration of the company's growth. I was putting on a long black body-hugging gown; the gown was decorated with little shiny silver stones, and the back of the gown was a little open… okay, maybe it exposed more skin than I felt comfortable with, but Riley insisted that I should buy the gown, that Axel was going to love it. I should have known that I couldn't trust her when she convinced me with a mischievous smile plastered on her face.Axel was putting on a tuxedo; my heels brought my height a bit closer to his. Since we came to the party, Axel has refused to let me go; he held me in a way that felt like he was giving a warning to every male werewolf around that I was his. The thought of it made my heart flutter even though I knew that it was wrong because Axel and I didn't share that sort of special relationship.“Where do you think
Gianna POVI waited anxiously outside Axel's office. He was with Dr. Gatlin; I tried listening to their conversation, but their voices were too low for me to hear anything through the door.His office isn't soundproof, so why can't I hear them?! I thought angrily as I leaned my ears closer to the door; they were discussing about me.“Gianna.” Axel called from inside.His sudden voice startled me; I almost lost my footing as I hit my head against the door.“You can come in,” Axel said.I nervously stepped into Axel's office, and Dr. Gatlin sat down on a seat close to Axel, who was leaning on his desk with his arm crossed over his chest. Axel was putting on a blue button-up long sleeve that was tucked into his black suit pants; his suit jacket was left over the head of his seat. Every piece of clothing I have seen him wear looks good on him.“For now, Dr. Gatlin and I have agreed that he is only going to be studying your blood.”I sucked in a deep breath as I took notes of Axel's words
Gianna POV“This place is amazing, Anna.” Riley openly gawked at the pack house. Well, the house was more like a mansion than a normal average house.I smiled warmly at the nickname Riley gave me. After becoming friends with Riley, I thought she would get tired of me and leave me after seeing how uncool I was; after all, I was boring; I was not as fun as Quinn, who could make anyone like her. But Riley was still by my side; she hung out with me and treated me like normal. Others at the company got a little tense around me because I was Luna.“This is my first time being inside the pack house; most times, Alpha Axel invites everyone in the pack for an official ceremony; omegas are usually not allowed inside.” Riley avoided my eyes and put her head down. Even though she won't say it, I could tell that she was ashamed of being an omega.Omegas are normally treated differently from other werewolves. I'm not an omega, so I won't even try and pretend as though I understand what Riley had go
Axel POV“Are you even listening to me?” Carl asked in a frustrated tone.Times like this make me question myself if he had forgotten that I was his alpha. If I didn't know how much Carl cared for me, I wouldn't let him raise his voice at me like this. Carl felt like a brother to me even though he's in no way related to me.“Yes, yes, I shouldn't let myself get too attached to my wife.” I replied in relation to Carl's advice and watched him as he paced around my office as though he owned the place. But he was only checking around to make sure that no one was listening to us. Any conversation that had to do with Gianna was confidential; not many people were allowed to know what we were up to.“I'm serious, Alpha. I understand that you want to provide for her and make her comfortable in the little time she had to spend with you, but don't make it any more than that. I don't like the way you act around her; don't forget that we only need to use her and nothing else.”“I asked her for a c
